Hacks: Reynaldo's ShortURLs UPDATED

Posted by: tlOn 2005/1/24 20:27:11 8045 reads

sim_suin has just released Simplified URLs which is great if you are trying ShortURLs for the first time. But if you have been using the Reynaldo's ShortURLs for a while, it would be just not feasible for the switch without creating a huge mess with search engines.

One of the issues using Reynaldo's ShortURLs is that it systematically converts all URLs including admin URLs. This proves to be problematic and you end up with many white pages in modules admin due to inconsistent coding.

The UPDATED hack utilizes (or borrows

) sim_suin's idea, will exclude module admin and system admin. No more modifying the module admin files in order to get it work. Enjoy!

ShortUrl - Only Blank Pages

I have just redone a vanilla install of XOOPS 2.0.9.2.

I have uploaded the 3 files and modified the mainfile.php as you say.

I get properly rewritten URLs but I get blank pages for all the links, nothing works: news, wiwi, newbb etc. all blank.

What's missing here? I tried this from a win32 machine running Firefox and IE latest versions. No luck

Please make sure if you are running apache and .htaccess is allowed with your host. ShortURLs requires Apache ModRewrite.

Also, as suggested if you are trying ShortURLs for the first time, please consider using Sim Suin's Simplified URLs instead.

The UPDATED Reynaldo's hack is for people like me who can't make the switch to Simplified URLs without creating a total mess with search engines.

BarTh:
I assume you are using Sim_suin's hack not the original Reynaldo's hack.

Make sure your startup module is correctly assigned.

[edit]
You may want to try Sim-suin's hack if you are trying for the first time. It would save you great deal of headaches in dealing with module admins.
I checked your site, it seems that loadpage.php is not functioning properly. Make sure it is included properly in .htaccess file. Other than that, I am sure what your problem is.

Problem with the link output.

Here is what is created:

http://www.mysite.com/xoops/m-news+index+.html

How can I change the + to -

Also, there shouldn't be a + next to the .html

Thanks

The answer is no unless you are willing to modify Reynaldo's codes.
